I'm Penny H., the breeder behind Postem's Standard Schnauzer located in Pensacola, FL. My dogs are proven champions in the ring and in the hearts of their forever families. I strive to produce quality puppies that are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive and have wonderful temperaments. My priority is to ensure the health and well-being of all my dogs from birth until they leave with their forever family and beyond.
Q. & A. with Penny
Why did you start breeding?
My love for Standard Schnauzers inspired me to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that I've found in raising these wonderful dogs.
What makes your program special?
I am a professional handler of Standard Schnauzers. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. My heavy involvement in the show world speaks to the standards that I breed my dogs by. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I take pride in raising well-tempered and socialized puppies who can excel in work, show, or as beloved companions.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
